Explanation:

To determine objectivity, we analyze the options:

• Option A: Trifles is a play (fictional/creative work), not focused on eyewitness accounts for objectivity, so incorrect.
• Option B: Personal commentary reduces objectivity, so claiming Trifles is more objective for having commentary is wrong.
• Option C: Newspaper articles aim for factual reporting with fewer opinions, while Trifles (a play) includes creative/interpretive elements. This matches the definition of objectivity (presenting facts, not opinions).
• Option D: Personal commentary reduces objectivity, so this reasoning is flawed.

Answer:

C. Glaspell’s newspaper articles are more objective because they contain more factual information and fewer opinions than Trifles does.
